Marshmallow Madness

Marshmallow Madness: The Good Shepherd

Welcome to the easiest family devotional you’ll ever come across- Marshmallow Madness! We can do this!

I challenge you to spend 20 minutes a week being intentional about passing your faith on to your kids …and all you need is a bag of marshmallows.

This week: The Good Shepherd

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” John 10:11

This weeks family devotion is easy and fun!

Look up John 10:11-15 You’ll need large marshmallows, small marshmallows (or nibble some big ones) and pretzel sticks for legs if ya got ’em. While making sheep together, ask your children the following questions:

What is a shepherd?

How does a good shepherd lay down his life for his sheep?

What would happen to a flock of sheep if there was no shepherd?

Are we like the sheep or the shepherd?

Do we have a good shepherd? Who is he? JESUS!

Send me a picture of your sheep before you eat them, please. And you might want to make a family of sheep- the salty pretzels and sweet marshmallows are delicious!Finish off with a quick family prayer. God cares about every area of our lives; let’s encourage the children to pray about whatever is on their hearts. Add to your prayer journal weekly, and be sure to leave space to jot down a quick note when God answers the prayer. Your kids will grow stronger in their faith when they can look back and see what the Lord has done.
